[Java for Android App Development] raffi3438:
hello,

Do you know how to make an application which can take a video record of the screen (or just the main acitivity of my application) and saves it to a video file in the device? I try to use mediarecoder but I don't know what refer to the screen ...

thank you
[Java for Android App Development] SimplicityApks:
If you are running KitKat, there is the new screen recording built into the OS, accessible through the command

adb shell screenrecord

or through the android device manager in eclipse.

Otherwise, don't expect good results because if not built into Android, it's kinda hard to record on a high frame rate without slowing everything down
[Java for Android App Development] raffi3438:
thank you

Do you know if in Kikat there are an API to take screenrecord directly by an application and store the video in a file?

My application isn't fast, so can you tell mee how Can I recorcord on a low frame rate (without android 4.4)?

Thank you
[Java for Android App Development] nikwen:
There are some root tolls to do it without Kitkat like this one: http://lifehacker.com/scr-screen-recorder-for-android-captures-high-quality-s-995276159

I'd recommend using the adb method though. If your app isn't fast, improve it. ;)
[Java for Android App Development] raffi3438:
I did not mean that my application is slow, but it does not need to be fast :) So do you know any tricks to screencast directly in my application without android 4.4 and without being root?

thank you
[Java for Android App Development] SimplicityApks:
There seems to be an app in the play store that can do it: Screencast.

I haven't used it so can't say if it works well, let me know how it does!

Edit: Fail you need root... Better read before everything else xD

Edit2: Found a nice article that could help you here.
[Java for Android App Development] PicomatStudios:
I can vouch for screencast - we used it for promo videos a while ago and it does a good job (needs root though)
[Java for Android App Development] raffi3438:
Thank you but I need to be not root... I think it's is possible to take screen capture (image), so is it possible to add a lot of images (of screen capture) in a video directly by an application?

Thank you
[Java for Android App Development] nikwen:
Well, there is a solution in SimplicityApk's post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=47357794&postcount=6

Follow the link of the second edit.
[Java for Android App Development] raffi3438:
Thank you, but do you know a trick to screencapture automaticaly by my application which I developp (I don't want use an existant application, but I want create an application which screencapture)

Thank uou
[Java for Android App Development] SimplicityApks:
Wait... you want to create an app that offers that kind of functionality to other apps or do you want to capture the main content of your application???

If you want to make an app for this functionality, without root I don't see an option to do that. For your own app, you can try to constantly call getDrawingChache() on your view on top of your view hierarchy and then write that bitmap to a file... But I dougt that will give good results, as it is not working on a surfaceView for instance.

I have a new bought Tab 3 7". It cannot detect SIM (insert SIM) although SIM works in other Tab and note. I learnt that changing stock ROM to another country may fix this. Can anyone confirm it? If so, where can I found official stock ROMs?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] urbient:
hi , iam using slimroms since a rough year on my former sgs1 and now on my note 1 . i realized now that even i love the rom and all the abilities of newer android versions , i have to go stock because of the unreliable usb drivers that regularly break connection and have poor performance when running as storage device from within android . for that reason i was looking in the forums about the stock roms and came across those stock and tw based roms . my question is now are these stock roms wich got tweaked and rooted but inherit all the properiat drivers that samsung got in his version and will these roms provide all levels of hardware support that i need for reliable working. despite beeing stuck on 4.1.2 then :) . and are these stock kernels like phillz one also working with the hardware as expected . finally the question about the different carrier versions wich seem to be the thing for newer stock roms like xxlt9 etc ... what does this mean in regard to the rom as i only know this numbering from the radios . thank you , chris
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nircc:
hey im a proud G2 owner...

and i realy like the phone but kinda hate the UI its super laggy...sometimes i even cant press my touch buttons :D

so im reading here alot and i see you guys using roms like CM/PARANDROID and such

im wonder if those realy worth losing all the nice features that LG UI have..

like qslide

led notication

smart screen

knock off and such...

what you think? and wich rom you guys using?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laufersteppenwolf:
I don't own the phone myself, but IMO: definitely ;)

You may lose some features, but you can re-add them using custom apps (like ButtonLED for example). Also, you have a de-bloated system, more features, better performance and way better customization abilities.

Also, please use the Q&A section next time you ask a question ;)

Thanks

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nircc:
Thanks for answers guys : )

sounds gr8...

can you please recomend me the best rom to use? i know there are many and i dont want installing something im not sure about it :D

wich apps can i use to get LED NOTIFACTIONS/KNOCK ON and stuff like that?

how do i install those roms?can you link me to a guide?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imhowie:
People are not supposed to ask what is the best ROM.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gnarfsan:
Try out the different ROMs and make up your own mind about them ;)

It's kinda fun IMO.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nircc:
but isnt that not safe to switch so many roms?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] android404:
Good luck.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nircc:
can you tell me wich roms you use on ur G2?

wich things cm offers that stock not?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr_w:
IT boils down to 2 things for me. The Quick Remote and the camera. 2 features AOSP/CM cannot weild. I am back to stock (Malladus) for those two very things. Once KitKat comes out, the IR piece will be solved but the camera software will not. I love Roms like Beanstalk and OSE where slim pie is built in, super handy. In terms of utility those roms dominate. OSE also has multi window support, its pretty nice. Hope this helps.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amokkx:
I decided to stick with Stock-ROM which i modified myself.

Of course I tried several ROMs, like BeanStalk, Rayglobe, Heatshiver and a few more.

Somehow I had problems with all Stock-based ROMs. Camera didnt function really well on Heatshiver, Stock-Browser on Rayglobe didnt work for me.

On another Stock-based ROM (dont remember which atm) the LG keyboard didnt work - with a fix in the comments, which led me to a bootloop.

Why i went back to stock:

I do the mistakes, which means I can hit myself if I dont do something properly.

Camera actually works.

Battery life. With same CPU-settings (TricksterMOD) I roughly had 30% less power consumption with Stock compared to Beanstalk (CM 10.2 10/28)

Approximate Sensor. With BeanStalk, my G2 woke up in my pocket - didnt happen with Stock. Tho, I dont know if it's fixed now.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ossito2012:
have patience, the quickest way to messing up phone is flashing to early in the game, the stock ui is not that bad, occasional lag in ui with fully functioning camera, bluetooth, & wifi etc. beats any custom rom at the moment, wait a month or so and see what kitkat is all about, just root your phone and use flashify to put on a recovery, and you will be able still have plenty of custom toys without blowing out your rom or sacrficing the things that led you to choose the LG-G2 in the first place.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nircc:
Thanks im gonna waitand see how kitkats work out then ill decide
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gnarfsan:
Well, I have flashed hundreds and never managed to brick a phone. I'm not saying that it can't happen though.

Start by installing recovery. Backup your current ROM. And you are good to go. Just NEVER wipe in the aroma installer for this phone!!!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nircc:
you mean by that that only wipe by format system through the mounts?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] android404:
Yes. Just do all the wipes in recovery. System, data, cache, dalvik.

I'm on stock by the way. Tried the usual suspects and realised that they don't give me anything that miss on rooted stock with the xposed framework.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nircc:
Can you tell me wich xposeds your using and whats this naked browser
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] android404:
Naked browser is a very fast, very privacy friendly browser with very good gesture control. Just invest a buck and try it for some days.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nircc:

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] android404:

[Sony Xperia ZL] WM_Rizzo:
My bother's Xperia ZL started acting silly all of a sudden. Whenever he makes a call, there's a huge lag in hearing the person on the other end of the line. Also, the person sounds like they just woke up, kinda slowed.

It's so bad that when we tested it, at one point while I was holding the ZL talking to him (he was on my XZ), he was entering the room and stopped talking, while I was still hearing him speak. Roughly 2-3 seconds lag.

Is there even a remote chance he might have changed some of the settings to make the sound slow down or something like that?

EDIT: Well, there actually is an option to slow down talk. Imagine that. Wish I knw how to delete a topic.
[Sony Xperia ZL] maclancer:
The only issue I have is the speaker volume too low... Sony has this issue since I bought the phone in June and not firmware has fix it yet. Maybe is hardware related.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kamran9558:
Hi everyone,

I have been using my nexus 5 since 4-5 days now and everything was working fine till last night when whatsapp started giving me errors (unfortunately app has been closed). I uninstalled whatsapp and when I am trying to re install it, its now giving me error "unknown error code on application install -24"

I have tried installing via apk, playstore's website, cleared the cache and data of playstore app, rebooted phone but nothing works.

I am hesitant to root my nexus 5 as there is no official recovery available and people are having issues when rooting the device and I cannot afford to have an unstable phone. Hard reset is an option but I would like to avoid it if possible. I have read that if I delete the related whatsapp folder from data/data folder somehow then it will fix the issue. Is there any way I could access and delete that folder without being rooted or if someone has any other solution to my problem.

Any help is much appreciated
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ronilzizou:
Same thing happened to me, Did you enable ART? Because that's what caused my errors (force closing). After switching back to Dalvik and trying to re-install, i was getting -24 error on the play store. I rebooted a few times and left it for a few hours. Tried again and it worked.

Whatsapp is i believe in-compatible with ART.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kamran9558:
Yes, I switched to ART . I went back to Dalvik and tried installing it but it still didnt work
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ronilzizou:
Okay, As for as i know, it did fix itself when i rebooted a few times and after a while it just worked.

Things i also tried that might have helped. Clear cache for the playstore which you tried. i would do this again after you switched back to Dalvik. and make sure whatsapp is uninstalled before switching to Dalvik. Once you switch back and have cleared cache from the playstore, try to re-install Whatsapp.

As for the backup, on your phone is a whatsapp folder that has a backup of your messages and photos etc. When you re-install whatsapp it'll pick that up and restore your stuff. There is no need to delete that folder.

I Hope that fixes it for you.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kamran9558:
Ok, Here is what I did.

After switching back to Dalvik I rebooted the phone couple of times, Cleared the data and cache of playstore app then tried downloading again but still the same error:confused:
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ronilzizou:
Right so far thats what i did, and thats exactly what happened to me. I just left it for a few hours and tried again it worked. Just give it a few hours and re-try / reboot and re-try.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kamran9558:
It didnt work. I had to factory reset my phone eventually and wasted my evening doing all the restores, I wish Android had a seamless backup system something like that of Apple's. Helium/Titanium/mybackup, all of them have some kind of flaws :(
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
Than you are not using TB or Helium as you should bro, app and data restoring always worked perfectly for me :)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kamran9558:
I am not rooted at the moment so TB wasnt really an option. Helium works fine only for apps and their data but I am looking for something that can restore my phone exactly how it was before the reset including home screens, settings etc without being rooted.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
That what you are looking for would be a nandroid backup made in a custom recovery, that restores everything. But not possible without root.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scuba4436:
Hi,

I have the same problem. Error -24 if I want to install Whatsapp from Google Play Store. Local installation after downloading the APK from Whatsapp gives also an error (app not installed).

Tried several times to delete the cache and setting of the Play Store app and the Google Framework. Followed by restarts of the phone. Until now I was NOT succesful.

As far as I read on other forums, the problem is, that in data/data/ already exists a Whatsapp-directory and therefore Whatsapp doesn't want to install. You could delete this directory, but only if you are rooted. I avoided this step until now, because it's a new phone with warranty and after rooting, all data ist wiped.

I also tried adb to delete this directory, but same effect. Because the phone is not rooted, I can't remove this directory by remote shell.

Is there no way to clean up such remains WITHOUT root? :confused::confused:

Greets,

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zwade01:
I've been having this problem for the last 3 days since I flashed the factory images for 4.4. Any photo taken is a blank image with the stock camera. It worked fine on previous Kit Kat ROMs, but no matter what I do now, I can't get the stock camera to work. FX Camera is working, but that's not really a "fix." I've done multiple data wipes and tried different ROMs like the latest Slimkat and CM and the stock camera still won't work.

Edit: So I flashed back to stock 4.3 JWR66Y and it's working fine... not sure what the issue was.
[G2 General] Musicmaster:
I'm slated to get the G2 today according to Fedex, so I've been doing a ton of reading on custom ROMs and whatnot. It seems like there are a ton of users on XDA (along with other message boards) who are going from the Galaxy Nexus to the LG G2 (myself included).

It seems like everyone hates the GNex, which I'm confused about. Sure, it's not the latest phone, but it still runs circles around the majority of my friends pre-2013 flagship phones. The only problem I've seemed to have is the USB port breaking, but that was an easy fix.
[G2 General] Intub8:
I am not sure about the nexus but my phone last 3 days with 6 hours of screen on time. You should ask in the nexus thread what people do not like.
[G2 General] Gnarfsan:
Aren't people hating it because it doesn't get Kitkat?

And btw. grats on your new phone. I hope you will enjoy it as much as I do ;) (Which is quite a lot btw.)
[G2 General] shook187:
What I hate is people making a thread for the Galaxy Nexus in the G2 forum.

Why are we even talking about a 2 year old phone in the G2 forum is beyond me.
[G2 General] Lockett:
It's because, if you haven't noticed, a large amount of us with the G2 came from the Gnex, myself included. This phone is leaps and bounds ahead of the gnex but that's not to say it was a horrible phone.
[G2 General] PAGOT:
lol....

No no one noticed and no one will, its not interesting for anyone, and this is another attempt to a comparison thread?

lets make a thread for ppl that came from HOX, there is a large amount of ppl that came from HOX.

Also for N5 there is a large amount of ppl also. Also From Desire. Galaxy S3 , galaxy Note...

Why ppl make such ridiculous titles for threads or even threads is beyond me :D.

BUT MAN Look at the age of the poster! 2004! WoW
[G2 General] tacosrdelicioso:
Same here. My g2 arrives Wednesday. My gnex will be retired
[G2 General] DeaconBoogie:
I had a GNex and regretted it nearly from the start. Its release was delayed for so long that it felt like a previous-generation device at the time. Sure it was a first with NFC, by how many times have you really used NFC? I tried to transfer a photo once, and it failed with some error. I've never encountered another person who wanted to tap-and-share something. Ever. I think I used Google Wallet one time at a fast food joint and even then I had to fiddle with it to get it to work properly.

Don't get me started on the folks who want a stock Android experience and then proceed to load up Nova Launcher, ROM Toolbox, and all these other mods to make the thing look like Sense.
[G2 General] rokfor2000:
It's not hate but people locked in 2 years contracts. I am still torn between N5 nad G2 but my GNex is going to retire :crying:. I loved it but it's time for it to go.

Saying that I might actualy extend it's life. Some soft and it will turn into Madia Centre/smart TV, permanently atached to my TV :)
[G2 General] Musicmaster:
Not an attempt at a comparison thread at all. Just have been researching and keep seeing comments come up as "finally got rid of the POS Galaxy Nexus" etc.

Hehe. Well still. The title is golden :).

There are many of these love love love G2 and hate hate hate everything else threads...

[G2 General] jordache16:
I came from a GNex as well and I think the biggest thing for me is the night and day difference between the battery life. I just accepted having to deal with multiple batteries and charging my GNex all the time but I didn't realize how much of a pain that was until I got my G2. For example, last night I forgot to put my G2 on the charger, which was after a moderate day of usage mind you, that of which my Nexus never would have been able to make through the whole day without charging in the first place. But this morning I still have over 50% charge on my G2 and will easily be able to make it the rest of the day without charging it, whereas my Nexus would have easily died over night and I would have been left without a charged phone this morning.

The second gripe I had with my GNex was the stock Android experience. It seems like all the hardcore Nexus users love stock Android and think it is the best thing since sliced bread, and I'll admit I was partly in that boat for a while. However, once I got my G2 and used LG's UI for the first time, I can honestly say that I don't think I'll ever go back to stock Android. I realize the LG UI isn't the best thing out there and I do have some minor gripes with it, but the stock UI is so dark, bland and dull in comparison. Also, it seems like stock Android is always playing catch up with the other Android variants that are out there by adding features that others have had built in for months (quick settings in notification bar is the first thing that comes to mind). The overall experience on any of the custom Android variants, let alone LG's UI, is just totally different, and way better than stock Android in my opinion.
